grain men to attend a Rearing be:

Omaha grain men hope for the de
feat , of the measure, since the in
fluence of the government guaran
tee to farmejs on the1 1919 crop
might carry wheat prices down.
The committee will atso make ef
forts to obtain audience with Direc
tor General Hines of the railroad
administration relative to relief for
ho congestion in terminal grain
elevators of this section, caused by
Mr. Hines' order against shipping
corn out of Omaha.
Shipments of corn from this city
are prohibited from February 8 to
18, by the order of the director gen
eral, and empty cars must be re
turned to country districts to move
surplus stocks.
Grain men here say that terminal
elevators have capacity loads now
and that there is no room for ad
ditional stocks from the country.
Mr. Hines refused a telegraphic re
quest to rescind his order, which
was sent him by Mr. Smith.
Conditions on the local market
are still unaffected by the director
general's order, according t Mr.
Smith. He reported no change in
the market todayi
Business Men Complain of

complaint from Dodge street busi

EMPLOYERS NOT
TO MEET DEMAND
OF MACHINISTS
Union Workers Order, Strike
Monday Omaha Firms
"Stand Pat."
Three employers of union ma
chinists yesterdavasserted that the
machinists' wagescale would remaijj
at 80 cents an hour in spite of the
decision of the Machinists' union to
strike Monday unless wages were
raised to 85 cents.
G. C. Edgerly, secretary and gen
eral manager of the Sunderland Ma
chine and Supply company, de
clared that employers would "stand
pat" for 80 cents.
"The machinists are not only
asking for 85' cents an hour, but are
also asking for a 44-hour week," he
said. "Under present conditions it
is absolutely necessary that the men
work 48 hours a week."
' James L. Paxton, president of the
Paxton-Mitchell company and J. L.
Baker, president of the Baker Ice
Machine company, announced they,
too, would stand pat for 80 cents an
hour and a 48-hour week.
The Machinists' union was in ses
sion for six hours at the laboi
temple Thursday before deciding to
strike for 85 cents. At the end of
that time, however, George Lamb.
business agent of the union, an
nounced that the men had decided
to strike Monday 'unless their wages
were raised to 85 cents. The union
also demanded a 44 hour week, but
might withdraw this demand if the
wage increase is granted, according
to Mr. Lamb.
Driver Is Paroled On
First Guilty Plea to
New Automobile Law
The first plea under the new law
nasserl h'v thp last state legislature
and aimed at reckless automobile
driving was made yesterday, when
John McKenna pleaded guilty to
"maiming, disfiguring and causing
rfpath while oneratincr a motor vehi
cle on the highway at an excessive
aud unlawful rate ot speed, tie was
.... . . ..
paroled to Adult rrooation umcer
Andreason for two years.
McKcnna was driving an automo
bile which collided with another car,
driven by Oscar Johnson, 3483 Lari-
mnrt 3voM!ic at Thirteenth street
and Deer Park boulevard the night
of November 2, 1919.
Philip Kellogg, a South Side com
mission man, was thrown from the
car driven by McKenna and killed.
McKenna was paroled on the
ground that he was a driver em
ployed by Kellogg and driving un
der his direction and therefore was
not entirely responsible for the accident.
DRUGGISTS HERE
SHY OF TANGLE
IN LIQUOR LAWS
Seek Permits for Small Amounts
Bluffs Now Buying
Whisky.
Approximately 1,500 galUns of
liquor will be sufficient to supply
first demands of Omaha druggists,
when they are able to obtain per
mits to sell for medicinal purposes,
according to James Hanley, federal
prohibition commissioner for Ne
braska.. Danger of "highjacker" raids and
the strict regulations surrounding
all. sales will prevent drug stores
from "stocking up" extensively with
liquor, Commissioner Hanley be
lieves. He had on file yesterday applica
tions from 150 Omaha druggists for
permits. Each of these stores he ex
pects to ask for a supply of from
five to 10 gallons. The applications,
specifying amounts requested, will
be forwarded to Washington for
approval and druggists may then
buy from wholesale druggists hold
ing permits to sell, or from govern
ment bonded warehouses.
